Astros Bet on Past Performance and Assume Risk with Justin Verlander’s Return
Photo by Robert Seale/MLB Photos via This starting staff received its reinforcements in the form of a familiar face. Honestly, I thought Justin Verlander had thrown his last pitch for the Astros on July 24, 2020. The odds of the veteran right-hander, who is fresh off from Tommy John surgery rehab, felt low heading into this offseason. I mean, it wasn’t exactly a zero percent chance that a reunion between the two sides would occur, but more indications pointed to a seemingly inevitable departure. James Click’s recent comments about the rotation only cemented those...

MLB Roundup 11/18: Justin Verlander re-signs with the Astros
Photo by Bob Levey/ And another starting pitcher comes off the board. Justin Verlander heads back to Houston It’s obviously subjective, but there was perhaps no free agent on the market this winter more interesting than Justin Verlander. He’s a future Hall of Famer who was outstanding the last time we saw him in the majors, but that was a long time ago. He made just one start in 2020 before his season ended with injury, and he ultimately missed all of 2021 as well after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Despite missing all that time, the Houston Astros extended him a...

Justin Verlander is staying in Houston
Photo by Bob Levey/ The Astros re-signed their ace soon after he rejected the club’s qualifying offer. It seems Justin Verlander did not care to remain a free agent for long. The Astros re-signed the two-time Cy Young Award winner to a 1-year, $25 million deal, with a player option for a second year. Ken Rosenthal expects it will essentially be a two-year contract.
